Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 28, 2007, CareGuide, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with a group of institutional and individual accredited investors (the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to the Investors an aggregate of up to 6,250,000 shares (the “Shares”) of a newly designated series of preferred stock designated as “Series A Preferred Stock,” at a price of $0.60 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds, before offering expenses, of $3.75 million. On December 28, 2007, the Company issued 1,562,500 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to the Investors for aggregate gross proceeds of $937,500, before offering expenses. At any time prior to April 1, 2008, the Company, in its sole discretion, may cause the Investors to purchase the remaining authorized shares of Series A Preferred Stock on a pro rata basis, based on the number of shares purchased at the initial closing on December 28, 2007. Among the Investors are two venture capital funds affiliated with directors of the Company and two directors in their individual capacities.

The Shares are being issued in a private placement pursuant to Rule 506 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and thus have not been and are not being registered under the Securities Act. The Shares may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

Under the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to grant registration rights to the holders of the Shares in connection with certain future registrations of the Company’s common stock under the Securities Act. The Company also agreed to other customary obligations regarding registration, including matters relating to indemnification and payment of expenses.

The above description, which summarizes the material terms of the Purchase Agreement, is not complete. The full text of the Purchase Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Statements made in this Current Report on Form 8-K that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements including, without limitation, the statements regarding completion of the private placement described herein and the anticipated gross proceeds of the private placement. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events to differ materially from those stated including, among others, risks related to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to closing the private placement and the risk that the private placement may not be consummated, as well as those risks and uncertainties disclosed from time to time in reports filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Additional information on factors which could affect the Company’s results is included in its Securities and Exchange Commission filings. Finally, there may be other factors not mentioned above or included in the Company’s SEC filings that may cause actual results to differ materially those projected in any forward-looking statement. You should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. The Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or developments, except as required by securities laws.

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

 

The information set forth in Item 1.01 is hereby incorporated into Item 3.02 by reference.

 

Item 3.03. Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

The authorization and issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock described in Item 1.01 impacts the rights of the holders of the Company’s common stock in that the Certificate of Designations of the Series A Preferred Stock (i) prohibits the Company from issuing dividends or making distributions to the holders of its Common Stock for so long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, unless all accrued and unpaid dividends with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock have been paid or are declared and set apart; and (ii) grants the holders of Series A Preferred Stock a liquidation preference with respect to such shares equal to their original purchase price plus all accrued but unpaid dividends in the event of an dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company or certain acquisition or change of control transactions involving the Company. In addition, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock generally vote together with the holders of common stock on an as-converted to common stock basis, and each share of Series A Preferred Stock is initially convertible into five shares of common stock.

 

Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

 

2

On December 28, 2007, the Company filed an Amended Certificate of Designations, Powers, Preferences and Relative, Participating, Optional or Other Special Rights, and the Qualifications, Limitations or Restrictions Thereof of the Series A Preferred Stock (the “Certificate”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Certificate was adopted by the Board of Directors of the Company at a meeting held on December 12, 2007.

 

The Certificate provides, among other things, that the Series A Preferred Stock (i) is entitled to cumulative dividends at the rate of 8% per year, payable in arrears semiannually; (ii) is entitled to a liquidation preference equal to its original purchase price plus all accrued and unpaid dividends; (iii) has a preference over the common stock with respect to dividends and distributions; (iv) votes on an as-converted basis with the common stock on matters submitted to common stockholders for approval; and (v) is initially convertible into common stock on a five-for-one basis (subject to adjustment in the event of stock dividends, stock splits, reverse stock splits, recapitalizations, etc. and in the event of certain dilutive issuances by the Company). The Certificate also provides that the consent of the holders of at least two-thirds of the Series A Preferred Stock is required for certain other actions that alter or change the voting or other powers, preferences, or other special rights, privileges or restrictions of the Series A Preferred Stock so as to affect them adversely.

 

The Series A Preferred Stock will be automatically converted into shares of common stock, at the then-effective conversion rate, at any time upon the affirmative election of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock or immediately upon the closing of certain public offerings of the Company’s common stock. Upon such automatic conversion, any accrued and unpaid dividends will be paid in cash or, to the extent sufficient funds are not then legally available therefor, in common stock (at the common stock’s fair market value determined by the Board as of the date of such conversion).

 

The Certificate is attached as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference, and the foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Certificate.

 

Item 8.01. Other Events.

CAREGUIDE SECURES $3.75 MILLION FINANCING

FOR WORKING CAPITAL PURPOSES

 

Coral Springs, FL (January 3, 2008) – CareGuide, Inc. (OTCBB:CGDE), a national disease and health care management company, today announced that it has entered into a stock purchase agreement with a group of institutional and individual accredited investors who are existing investors in CareGuide and who have agreed to provide up to $3.75 million in working capital in a private placement. Under the stock purchase agreement, CareGuide has agreed to sell shares of a newly designated series of preferred stock, each of which is convertible into five shares of common stock. On December 28, 2007, CareGuide issued an aggregate of 1,562,500 shares of preferred stock for the aggregate gross proceeds of $937,500, before offering expenses. At any time prior to April 1, 2008, subject to the terms of the purchase agreement, CareGuide, in its sole discretion, may cause the investors to purchase the remaining authorized shares of preferred stock on a pro rata basis. Among the investor group are two venture capital funds associated with the directors of CareGuide, as well as two directors of CareGuide in their individual capacities.

 

“We believe that this investment confirms our major shareholders’ belief in what CareGuide can accomplish. We have been retooling CareGuide’s operations, and we are ready to emerge as an innovator and leader in disease and care management. We believe that this capital infusion will allow CareGuide to execute its growth strategy for 2008, including the expected expansion of our Complex Care Management and One Care Street service lines,” stated Chris Paterson, CareGuide’s Chief Executive Officer.

 

According to Albert Waxman, Ph.D., Chairman of the Board of Directors of CareGuide and Chief Executive Officer of Psilos Group Managers, which is participating in the private placement, “The investor group believes CareGuide has redefined itself and, with some liquidity, can realize its 2008 growth objectives. This investment should allow the executive team to compete with larger companies in the disease and care management industry. We believe CareGuide has a superior product at a competitive price.”

OF

THE SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK

OF

CAREGUIDE, INC.

 

Pursuant to Section 151 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, CareGuide, Inc. a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”) certifies that, pursuant to the authority contained in paragraph 4 of its Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), and in accordance with the provisions of Section 151 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, its Board of Directors has adopted the following resolution amending and restating the terms of a series of its Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, previously designated as Series A Preferred Stock:

 

RESOLVED, that the terms of the series of the class of authorized $0.01 par value Preferred Stock of the Corporation previously designated as Series A Preferred Stock be hereby amended, and that the designation and the amount thereof and the voting powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights of the shares of such series, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof are amended in their entirety as follows:

 

 

1.

Designation and Amount.

 

(a)

The shares of such series shall be designated as “Series A Preferred Stock” and the number of shares constituting such series is hereby increased from 1,800,000 to 6,250,000.

 

2.

Voting Rights.

 

(a)

General Rights. Each holder of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series A Preferred Stock could be converted (pursuant to Section 5 hereof) immediately after the close of business on the record date fixed for such meeting or the effective date of such written consent and shall have voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the Common Stock and shall be entitled to notice of any stockholders’ meeting in accordance with the bylaws of the Corporation. Except as otherwise provided herein or as required by law, the Series A Preferred Stock shall vote together with the Common Stock at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders and not as a separate class, and may act by written consent in the same manner as the Common Stock.

 

(b)

Separate Vote of Series A Preferred Stock. For so long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, in addition to any other vote or consent required herein or by law, the vote or written consent of the holders of at least a two-thirds of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock shall be necessary for effecting or validating any amendment, alteration, or repeal of any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or the bylaws of the Company (including any filing of a Certificate of Designation), that alters or changes the voting or other powers, preferences, or other special rights, privileges or restrictions of the Series A Preferred Stock so as to affect them adversely; provided, however, that the authorization or any designation, whether by reclassification or otherwise, or any increase in the authorized or designated number, or any issuance of any class or series of stock or any other securities convertible into equity securities of the Corporation ranking on a parity with or senior to the Series A Preferred Stock in right of redemption, liquidation preference, voting or dividend rights shall not require any separate vote of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock under this Section 2(b).

 

3.

Dividends.

 

(a)

Holders of Series A Preferred Stock, in preference to the holders of Common Stock, shall be

 

1

entitled to accrue dividends at the rate of eight percent (8%) of the Original Issue Price (as defined below) per annum on each outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock, which amounts shall be payable in arrears, on June 30 and December 31 of each year shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding on such dates, in either cash or, at the election of the Company, additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock with a face value, based on the Original Issue Price (as defined below), equal to the dividend payment required hereunder.

 

(b)

The “Original Issue Price” of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be sixty cents ($0.60) per share (as adjusted for any stock dividends, combinations, splits, recapitalizations and the like with respect to such shares after the filing date hereof).

 

(c)

So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Corporation shall not pay or declare any dividend, whether in cash or property, or make any other distribution on the Common Stock, or purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire for value any shares of Common Stock until all dividends as set forth in Section 3(a) above on the Series A Preferred Stock shall have been paid or declared and set apart, except for:

 

(i)

acquisitions of Common Stock by the Corporation pursuant to agreements which permit the Corporation to repurchase such shares at cost (or the lesser of cost or fair market value) upon termination of services to the Corporation; or

 

(ii)

acquisitions of Common Stock in exercise of the Corporation’s right of first refusal to repurchase such shares.

 

(d)

The provisions of Sections 3(c) shall not apply to a dividend payable solely in Common Stock to which the provisions of Section 5(f) hereof are applicable, or any repurchase of any outstanding securities of the Corporation that is approved by the Board.

 

4.

Liquidation Preference.

 

(a)

Upon any liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, or any change in control of the Corporation, including any Acquisition or Asset Transfer (a “Liquidation Event”), before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of any Common Stock, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation legally available for distribution for each share of Series A Preferred Stock held by them, an amount per share of Series A Preferred Stock equal to the Original Issue Price (as defined below) plus all accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock (the “Liquidation Preference Amount”). If, upon any such Liquidation Event, the assets of the Corporation shall be insufficient to make payment in full to all holders of Series A Preferred Stock of the Liquidation Preference Amount set forth in this Section 4(a), then such assets (or consideration) shall be distributed among the holders of Series A Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, ratably in proportion to the full amounts to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled.

 

(b)

After the payment of the full Liquidation Preference Amount of the Series A Preferred Stock as set forth in Section 4(a) above, the remaining assets of the Corporation legally available for distribution, if any, shall be distributed ratably to the holders of the Common Stock.

 

(c)

For purposes of Section 4(a), (i) “Acquisition” shall mean (x) any consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation or other entity or person, or any other corporate reorganization, other than any such consolidation, merger or reorganization in which the shareholders of the Corporation immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or reorganization, continue to hold at least a majority of the voting power of the surviving entity in substantially the same proportions (or, if the surviving entity is a wholly owned subsidiary, its parent) immediately after such consolidation, merger or reorganization; or (y) any transaction or series of related

 

2

transactions to which the Corporation is a party in which in excess of fifty percent (50%) of the Corporation’s voting power is transferred; provided that an Acquisition shall not include any transaction or series of transactions principally for bona fide equity financing purposes in which cash is received by the Corporation or any successor or indebtedness of the Corporation is cancelled or converted or a combination thereof; and (ii) “Asset Transfer” shall mean a sale, lease, exclusive license or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation. In any Acquisition or Asset Transfer, if the consideration to be received is securities of a corporation or other property other than cash, its value will be deemed its fair market value as determined in good faith by the Board on the date such determination is made.

 

5.

Conversion.

The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have the following rights with respect to the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion Rights”):

 

(a)

Optional Conversion. Subject to and in compliance with the provisions of this Section 5, any shares of Series A Preferred Stock may, at the option of the holder, be converted at any time into fully-paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock to which a holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled upon conversion shall be the product obtained by multiplying the “Series A Preferred Stock Conversion Rate” then in effect (determined as provided in Section 5(b)) by the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock being converted.

 

(b)

Series A Preferred Stock Conversion Rate. The conversion rate in effect at any time for conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock Conversion Rate”) shall be the quotient obtained by dividing the Original Issue Price of the Series A Preferred Stock by the “Series A Preferred Stock Conversion Price,” calculated as provided in Section 5(c). As of the date of filing hereof, the Series A Preferred Stock Conversion Rate shall be five (5) shares of Common Stock for each share of Series A Preferred Stock.

 

(c)

Series A Preferred Stock Conversion Price. The conversion price for the Series A Preferred Stock shall initially be twelve cents ($0.12) (the “Series A Preferred Stock Conversion Price”). Such initial Series A Preferred Stock Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time in accordance with this Section 5. All references to the Series A Preferred Stock Conversion Price herein shall mean the Series A Preferred Stock Conversion Price as so adjusted.

 

(d)

Mechanics of Conversion. Each holder of Series A Preferred Stock who desires to convert the same into shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Section 5 shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation or any transfer agent for the Series A Preferred Stock, and shall give written notice to the Corporation at such office that such holder elects to convert the same. Such notice shall state the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock being converted. Thereupon, the Corporation shall promptly issue and deliver at such office to such holder a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled and shall promptly pay in cash (at the Common Stock’s fair market value determined by the Board as of the date of conversion) the value of any fractional share of Common Stock otherwise issuable to any holder of Series A Preferred Stock. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made at the close of business on the date of such surrender of the certificates representing the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted, and the person entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of such shares of Common Stock on such date.

 

(e)

Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If at any time or from time to time on or after the date that the first share of Series A Preferred Stock is issued (the “Original Issue Date”) the Corporation effects a subdivision of the outstanding Common Stock, the Series A Preferred Stock Conversion Price in effect immediately before that subdivision shall be proportionately decreased.

 

3

Conversely, if at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date the Corporation combines the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Series A Preferred Stock Conversion Price in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased. Any adjustment under this Section 5(e) shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.

 

(f)

Adjustment for Common Stock Dividends and Distributions. If at any time or from time to time on or after the Original Issue Date the Corporation pays to holders of Common Stock a dividend or other distribution in additional shares of Common Stock, the Series A Preferred Stock Conversion Price then in effect shall be decreased as of the time of such issuance, as provided below:

 

(i)

The Series A Preferred Stock Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Series A Preferred Stock Conversion Price then in effect by a fraction equal to:

 

(1)

the numerator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance, and

 

(2)

the denominator of which is the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance plus the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution;

 

(ii)

If the Corporation fixes a record date to determine which holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution, the Series A Preferred Stock Conversion Price shall be fixed as of the close of business on such record date and the number of shares of Common Stock shall be calculated immediately prior to the close of business on such record date; and

 

(iii)

If such record date is fixed and such dividend is not fully paid or if such distribution is not fully made on the date fixed therefor, the Series A Preferred Stock Conversion Price shall be recomputed accordingly as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Series A Preferred Stock Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this Section 5(f) to reflect the actual payment of such dividend or distribution.

 

(g)

Adjustment for Reclassification, Exchange, Substitution, Reorganization, Merger or Consolidation. If at any time or from time to time on or after the Original Issue Date the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock is changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by recapitalization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or otherwise (other than an Acquisition or Asset Transfer as defined in Section 4 or a subdivision or combination of shares or stock dividend provided for elsewhere in this Section 5), in any such event each holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall then have the right to convert such stock into the kind and amount of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such recapitalization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or other change by holders of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series A Preferred Stock could have been converted immediately prior to such recapitalization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein or with respect to such other securities or property by the terms thereof. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 5 with respect to the rights of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock after the capital reorganization to the end that the provisions of this Section 5 (including adjustment of the Series A Preferred Stock Conversion Price then in effect and the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock) shall be applicable after that event and be as nearly equivalent as practicable.

 

(h)

Sale of Shares Below Series A Preferred Stock Conversion Price.

 

4

 

(i)

If at any time or from time to time on or after the Original Issue Date the Corporation issues or sells or reserves for issuance or sale, or is deemed by the express provisions of this Section 5(h) to have issued or sold, Additional Shares of Common Stock (as defined below), other than as provided in Section 5(e), 5(f) or 5(g) above, for an Effective Price (as defined below) less than the then effective Series A Preferred Stock Conversion Price (a “Qualifying Dilutive Issuance”), then and in each such case, the then existing Series A Preferred Stock Conversion Price shall be reduced, as of the opening of business on the date of such issue or sale, to a price equal to such Effective Price.

 

(ii)

No adjustment shall be made to the Series A Preferred Stock Conversion Price in an amount less than one cent ($0.01) per share. Any adjustment required by this Section 5(h) shall be rounded to the nearest one cent ($0.01) per share. Any adjustment otherwise required by this Section 5(h) that is not required to be made due to the preceding two sentences shall be included in any subsequent adjustment to the Series A Preferred Stock Conversion Price.

 

(iii)

For the purpose of making any adjustment required under this Section 5(h), the aggregate consideration received by the Corporation for any issue or sale of securities (the “Aggregate Consideration”) shall be defined as: (A) to the extent it consists of cash, be computed at the gross amount of cash received by the Corporation before deduction of any underwriting or similar commissions, compensation or concessions paid or allowed by the Corporation in connection with such issue or sale and without deduction of any expenses payable by the Corporation, (B) to the extent it consists of property other than cash, be computed at the fair value of that property as determined in good faith by the Board, and (C) if Additional Shares of Common Stock, Convertible Securities (as defined below) or rights or options to purchase either Additional Shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities are issued or sold together with other stock or securities or other assets of the Corporation for a consideration which covers both, be computed as the portion of the consideration so received that may be reasonably determined in good faith by the Board to be allocable to such Additional Shares of Common Stock, Convertible Securities or rights or options.

 

(iv)

For the purpose of the adjustment required under this Section 5(h), if the Corporation issues or sells (x) Preferred Stock or other stock, options, warrants, purchase rights or other securities convertible into, Additional Shares of Common Stock (such convertible stock or securities being herein referred to as “Convertible Securities”) or (y) rights or options for the purchase of Additional Shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities and if the Effective Price of such Additional Shares of Common Stock is less than the Series A Preferred Stock Conversion Price, in each case the Corporation shall be deemed to have issued at the time of the issuance of such rights or options or Convertible Securities the maximum number of Additional Shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise or conversion thereof and to have received as consideration for the issuance of such shares an amount equal to the total amount of the consideration, if any, received by the Corporation for the issuance of such rights or options or Convertible Securities plus:

 

(1)

in the case of such rights or options, the minimum amounts of consideration, if any, payable to the Corporation upon the exercise of such rights or options; and

 

(2)

in the case of Convertible Securities, the minimum amounts of consideration, if any, payable to the Corporation upon the conversion thereof (other than by cancellation of liabilities or obligations evidenced by such Convertible Securities); provided that if the minimum amounts of such consideration cannot be ascertained, but are a function of antidilution or similar protective clauses, the Corporation shall be deemed to have received the minimum amounts of consideration without reference to such clauses.

 

5

 

(3)

If the minimum amount of consideration payable to the Corporation upon the exercise or conversion of rights, options or Convertible Securities is reduced over time or on the occurrence or non-occurrence of specified events other than by reason of antidilution adjustments, the Effective Price shall be recalculated using the figure to which such minimum amount of consideration is reduced; provided further, that if the minimum amount of consideration payable to the Corporation upon the exercise or conversion of such rights, options or Convertible Securities is subsequently increased, the Effective Price shall be again recalculated using the increased minimum amount of consideration payable to the Corporation upon the exercise or conversion of such rights, options or Convertible Securities.

 

(4)

No further adjustment of the Series A Preferred Stock Conversion Price, as adjusted upon the issuance of such rights, options or Convertible Securities, shall be made as a result of the actual issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock or the exercise of any such rights or options or the conversion of any such Convertible Securities. If any such rights or options or the conversion privilege represented by any such Convertible Securities shall expire without having been exercised, the Series A Preferred Stock Conversion Price as adjusted upon the issuance of such rights, options or Convertible Securities shall be readjusted to the Series A Preferred Stock Conversion Price which would have been in effect had an adjustment been made on the basis that the only Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued were the Additional Shares of Common Stock, if any, actually issued or sold on the exercise of such rights or options or rights of conversion of such Convertible Securities, and such Additional Shares of Common Stock, if any, were issued or sold for the consideration actually received by the Corporation upon such exercise, plus the consideration, if any, actually received by the Corporation for the granting of all such rights or options, whether or not exercised, plus the consideration received for issuing or selling the Convertible Securities actually converted, plus the consideration, if any, actually received by the Corporation (other than by cancellation of liabilities or obligations evidenced by such Convertible Securities) on the conversion of such Convertible Securities, provided that such readjustment shall not apply to prior conversions of Series A Preferred Stock.

 

(v)

For the purpose of making any adjustment to the Conversion Price of the Series A Preferred Stock required under this Section 5(h), “Additional Shares of Common Stock” shall mean all shares of Common Stock issued by the Corporation or deemed to be issued pursuant to this Section 5(h) (including shares of Common Stock subsequently reacquired or retired by the Corporation), other than:

 

(1)

shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock;

 

(2)

shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities issued after the Original Issue Date to employees, officers or directors of, or consultants or advisors to the Corporation or any subsidiary pursuant to stock purchase or stock option plans or other arrangements that are approved by the Board;

 

(3)

shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the exercise of Convertible Securities outstanding as of the Original Issue Date; and

 

(4)

shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities issued for consideration other than cash pursuant to a merger, consolidation, acquisition, strategic alliance or similar business combination approved by the Board.

 

6

References to Common Stock in the subsections of this clause (v) above shall mean all shares of Common Stock issued by the Corporation or deemed to be issued pursuant to this Section 5(h). The “Effective Price” of Additional Shares of Common Stock shall mean the quotient determined by dividing the total number of Additional Shares of Common Stock issued or sold, or deemed to have been issued or sold by the Corporation under this Section 5(h), into the Aggregate Consideration received, or deemed to have been received by the Corporation for such issue under this Section 5(h), for such Additional Shares of Common Stock. In the event that the number of shares of Additional Shares of Common Stock or the Effective Price cannot be ascertained at the time of issuance, such Additional Shares of Common Stock shall be deemed issued immediately upon the occurrence of the first event that makes such number of shares or the Effective Price, as applicable, ascertainable.

 

(vi)

In the event that the Corporation issues or sells, or is deemed to have issued or sold, Additional shares of Common Stock in a Qualifying Dilutive Issuance (the “First Dilutive Issuance”), then in the event that the Corporation issues or sells, or is deemed to have issued or sold, Additional Shares of Common Stock in a Qualifying Dilutive Issuance other than the First Dilutive Issuance as a part of the same transaction or series of related transactions as the First Dilutive Issuance (a “Subsequent Dilutive Issuance”), then and in each such case upon a Subsequent Dilutive Issuance the Series A Preferred Stock Conversion Price shall be reduced to the Series A Preferred Stock Conversion Price that would have been in effect had the First Dilutive Issuance and each Subsequent Dilutive Issuance all occurred on the closing date of the First Dilutive Issuance.

 

(i)

Certificate of Adjustment. In each case of an adjustment or readjustment of the Series A Preferred Stock Conversion Price for the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, if the Series A Preferred Stock is then convertible pursuant to this Section 5, the Corporation, at its expense, shall compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the provisions hereof and shall, upon request, prepare a certificate showing such adjustment or readjustment, and shall mail such certificate, by first class mail, postage prepaid, to each registered holder of Series A Preferred Stock so requesting at the holder’s address as shown in the Corporation’s books. The certificate shall set forth such adjustment or readjustment, showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (i) the consideration received or deemed to be received by the Corporation for any Additional Shares of Common Stock issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold, (ii) the Series A Preferred Stock Conversion Price at the time in effect, (iii) the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock and (iv) the type and amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock. Failure to request or provide such notice shall have no effect on any such adjustment.

 

(j)

Notices of Record Date. Upon (i) any taking by the Corporation of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution, or (ii) any Acquisition (as defined in Section 4) or other capital reorganization of the Corporation, any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Corporation, any merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into any other corporation, or any Asset Transfer (as defined in Section 4), or any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, the Corporation shall mail to each holder of Series A Preferred Stock at least ten (10) days prior to (x) the record date, if any, specified therein; or (y) if no record date is specified, the date upon which such action is to take effect (or, in either case, such shorter period approved by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock) a notice specifying (A) the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend or distribution and a description of such dividend or distribution, (B) the date on which any such Acquisition, reorganization, reclassification, transfer, consolidation, merger, Asset Transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective, and (C) the date, if any, that is to be fixed as to when the holders of record of Common Stock (or other securities) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or other securities) for securities or

 

7

other property deliverable upon such Acquisition, reorganization, reclassification, transfer, consolidation, merger, Asset Transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.

 

(k)

Automatic Conversion.

 

(i)

Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock, based on the then-effective Series A Preferred Stock Conversion Price, (A) at any time upon the affirmative election of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, or (B) immediately upon the closing of a firmly underwritten public offering pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering the offer and sale of Common Stock for the account of the Corporation or, in the case of a registration statement filed in connection with a PIPE transaction, on behalf of the selling shareholders, in which (1) the per share price is at least two (2) times the Series A Preferred Stock Conversion price then in effect and (2) the gross cash proceeds to the Corporation (before underwriting discounts, commissions and fees) are at least fifteen million dollars ($15,000,000). Upon such automatic conversion, any accrued and unpaid dividends shall be paid in cash or, to the extent sufficient funds are not then legally available therefor, in Common Stock (at the Common Stock’s fair market value determined by the Board as of the date of such conversion).

 

(ii)

Upon the occurrence of either of the events specified in Section 5(k)(i) above, the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be converted automatically without any further action by the holders of such shares and whether or not the certificates representing such shares are surrendered to the Corporation or its transfer agent; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion unless the certificates evidencing such shares of Series A Preferred Stock are either delivered to the Corporation or its transfer agent as provided below, or the holder notifies the Corporation or its transfer agent that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement satisfactory to the Corporation to indemnify the Corporation from any loss incurred by it in connection with such certificates. Upon the occurrence of such automatic conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall surrender the certificates representing such shares at the office of the Corporation or any transfer agent for the Series A Preferred Stock. Thereupon, there shall be issued and delivered to such holder promptly at such office and in its name as shown on such surrendered certificate or certificates, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Series A Preferred Stock surrendered were convertible on the date on which such automatic conversion occurred.

 

(l)

Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock. All shares of Common Stock (including fractions thereof) issuable upon conversion of more than one share of Series A Preferred Stock by a holder thereof shall be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the conversion would result in the issuance of any fractional share. If, after the aforementioned aggregation, the conversion would result in the issuance of any fractional share, the Corporation shall, in lieu of issuing any fractional share, pay cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the fair market value of one share of Common Stock (as determined by the Board) on the date of conversion.

 

(m)

Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock. If at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Corporation will take such corporate action

 

8

as may be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose.

 

(n)

Notices. Any notice required by the provisions of this Section 5 shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (i) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (ii) when sent by confirmed electronic mail or facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient; if not, then on the next business day, (iii) five (5) days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (iv) one (1) day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with verification of receipt. All notices shall be addressed to each holder of record at the address of such holder appearing on the books of the Corporation.

 

(o)

Payment of Taxes. The Corporation will pay all taxes (other than taxes based upon income) and other governmental charges that may be imposed with respect to the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of shares of Series A Preferred Stock, excluding any tax or other charge imposed in connection with any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that in which the shares of Series A Preferred Stock so converted were registered.

AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the proper officers of the Corporation are hereby authorized, empowered and directed to take all such further action and to execute, deliver, certify and file all instruments and documents in the name of and on behalf of this Corporation as such officers executing same shall approve as necessary or advisable to effectuate and accomplish the purpose of the foregoing resolution and the transactions contemplated thereby, the taking of such action and the execution, delivery, certification, and filing of such documents to be conclusive evidence of such approval.

4.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF PURCHASERS.

Each Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Company, severally and not jointly, as follows (provided that such representations and warranties do not lessen or obviate the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in this Agreement):

4.1       Requisite Power and Authority. Purchaser has all necessary power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to carry out its provisions. All action on Purchaser’s part required for the lawful execution and delivery of this Agreement has been taken. Upon its execution and delivery, this Agreement will be a valid and binding obligation of Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except (a) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights, (b) as limited by general principles of equity that restrict the availability of equitable remedies and (c) to the extent that the enforceability of the indemnification provisions herein may be limited by applicable laws.

4.2       Investment Representations. Purchaser understands that neither the Shares nor the Conversion Shares have been registered under the Securities Act. Purchaser also understands that the Shares are being offered and sold pursuant to an exemption from registration contained in the Securities Act based in part upon Purchaser’s representations contained in the Agreement. Purchaser hereby represents and warrants as follows:

(a)       Purchaser Bears Economic Risk. Purchaser has substantial experience in evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of securities in

 

4

 

 

companies similar to the Company so that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Company and has the capacity to protect its own interests. Purchaser must bear the economic risk of this investment indefinitely unless the Shares (or the Conversion Shares) are registered pursuant to the Securities Act, or an exemption from registration is available. Purchaser understands that the Company has no present intention of registering the Shares, the Conversion Shares or any shares of its Common Stock. Purchaser also understands that there is no assurance that any exemption from registration under the Securities Act will be available and that, even if available, such exemption may not allow Purchaser to transfer all or any portion of the Shares or the Conversion Shares under the circumstances, in the amounts or at the times Purchaser might propose.

(b)       Acquisition for Own Account. Purchaser is acquiring the Shares and the Conversion Shares for Purchaser’s own account for investment only, and not with a view towards their distribution.

(c)       Purchaser Can Protect Its Interest. Purchaser represents that by reason of its, or of its management’s, business or financial experience, Purchaser has the capacity to protect its own interests in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement. Further, Purchaser is aware of no publication of any advertisement in connection with the transactions contemplated in the Agreement.

(d)       Accredited Investor. Purchaser represents that it is an accredited investor within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act.

(e)       Company Information. Purchaser has received and read the Company’s current, quarterly and annual reports, proxy statements, registration statements and other information as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and has had an opportunity to discuss the Company’s business, management and financial affairs with directors, officers and management of the Company and has had the opportunity to review the Company’s operations and facilities. Purchaser has also had the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from, the Company and its management regarding the terms and conditions of this investment.

(f)        Rule 144. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Shares, and, if issued, the Conversion Shares are “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act as in effect from time to time and must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Purchaser has been advised or is aware of the provisions of Rule 144, which permits limited resale of shares purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including, among other things: the availability of certain current public information about the Company, the resale occurring following the required holding period under Rule 144 and the number of shares being sold during any three-month period not exceeding specified limitations.

REGISTRATION; RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER.

 

6.1

Restrictions on Transfer.

(a)       Each Purchaser agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Shares or Conversion Shares unless and until:

(i)        there is then in effect a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such registration statement; or

(ii)       (A) The transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, (B) such Purchaser shall have notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and (C) if reasonably requested by the Company, such Purchaser shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such disposition will not require registration of such shares under the Securities Act. It is agreed that the Company will not require opinions of counsel for transactions made pursuant to Rule 144, except in unusual circumstances. In addition, the Company will not require any transferee pursuant to Rule 144 to be bound by the terms of this

 

7

 

 

Agreement if the shares so transferred do not remain Registrable Securities (as defined below) hereunder following such transfer.

(b)       Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) above, no such restriction shall apply to a transfer by a Purchaser that is (A) a partnership transferring to its partners or former partners in accordance with partnership interests, (B) a corporation transferring to a wholly-owned subsidiary or a parent corporation that owns all of the capital stock of the Purchaser, (C) a limited liability company transferring to its members or former members in accordance with their interest in the limited liability company, or (D) an individual transferring to the Purchaser’s family member or trust for the benefit of an individual Purchaser; provided that in each case the transferee will agree in writing to be subject to the terms of this Agreement to the same extent as if he were an original Purchaser hereunder.

(c)       Each certificate representing Shares or Registrable Securities (as defined below) shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with legends substantially similar to the following (in addition to any legend required under applicable state securities laws):

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “ACT”) AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS AND UNTIL REGISTERED UNDER THE ACT OR UNLESS THE COMPANY HAS RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

THE SALE, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR TRANSFER OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A CERTAIN SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN THE STOCKHOLDER AND THE COMPANY. COPIES OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED UPON WRITTEN REQUEST TO THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.

(d)       The Company shall be obligated to reissue promptly unlegended certificates at the request of any Purchaser thereof if the Purchaser shall have obtained an opinion of counsel (which counsel may be counsel to the Company) reasonably acceptable to the Company to the effect that the securities proposed to be disposed of may lawfully be so disposed of without registration, qualification and legend, provided that the second legend listed above shall be removed only at such time as the Purchaser of such certificate is no longer subject to any restrictions hereunder.

(e)       Any legend endorsed on an instrument pursuant to applicable state securities laws and the stop-transfer instructions with respect to such securities shall be removed

 

8

 

 

upon receipt by the Company of an order of the appropriate blue sky authority authorizing such removal.

(f)        For purposes of this Agreement, “Registrable Securities” means (a) the Conversion Shares and (b) any Common Stock of the Company issued as (or issuable upon the conversion or exercise of any warrant, right or other security which is issued as) a dividend or other distribution with respect to, or in exchange for or in replacement of, the Shares or Conversion Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Registrable Securities shall not include any securities (i) sold by a person to the public either pursuant to a registration statement or Rule 144 or (ii) sold in a private transaction in which the transferor’s rights under Section 6 of this Agreement are not assigned.

6.2       Piggyback Registrations. The Company shall notify all Purchasers of Registrable Securities in writing at least fifteen (15) days prior to the filing of any registration statement under the Securities Act where such registration statement includes shares to be resold by selling stockholders (including, but not limited to, registration statements relating to secondary offerings of securities of the Company where such registration statement includes shares to be resold by selling stockholders, but excluding any Special Registration Statements (as defined below)) and will afford each such Purchaser an opportunity to include in such registration statement all or part of such Registrable Securities held by such Purchaser. Each Purchaser desiring to include in any such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities held by it shall, within fifteen (15) days after the above-described notice from the Company, so notify the Company in writing. Such notice shall state the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities by such Purchaser. If a Purchaser decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities in any registration statement thereafter filed by the Company, such Purchaser shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent registration statement or registration statements as may be filed by the Company with respect to offerings of its securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

(a)       Underwriting. If the registration statement of which the Company gives notice under this Section 6.2 is for an underwritten offering, the Company shall so advise the Purchasers of Registrable Securities. In such event, the right of any such Purchaser to include Registrable Securities in a registration pursuant to this Section 6.2 shall be conditioned upon such Purchaser’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Purchaser’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Purchasers proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the underwriter determines in good faith that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, the number of shares that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated, first, to the Company; second, to the Purchasers on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Registrable Securities held by the Purchasers; and third, to any stockholder of the Company (other than a Purchaser) on a pro rata basis. If any Purchaser disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Purchaser may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter, delivered at least ten (10) business days prior to the effective date of the registration statement. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such

 

9

 

 

underwriting shall be excluded and withdrawn from the registration. For any Purchaser which is a partnership, limited liability company or corporation, the partners, retired partners, members, retired members and stockholders of such Purchaser, or the estates and family members of any such partners, retired partners, members and retired members and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing person shall be deemed to be a single “Purchaser,” and any pro rata reduction with respect to such “Purchaser” shall be based upon the aggregate amount of shares carrying registration rights owned by all entities and individuals included in such “Purchaser,” as defined in this sentence.

(b)       Right to Terminate Registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 6.2 whether or not any Purchaser has elected to include securities in such registration, and shall promptly notify any Purchaser that has elected to include shares in such registration of such termination or withdrawal. The Registration Expenses (as defined below) of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 6.3 hereof.

(c)       Special Registration Statement. For purposes of this Agreement, “Special Registration Statement” shall mean (i) a registration statement relating to any employee benefit plan, (ii) with respect to any corporate reorganization or transaction under Rule 145 of the Securities Act, any registration statements related to the issuance or resale of securities issued in such a transaction, (iii) a registration related to stock issued upon conversion of debt securities or (iv) a registration statement related exclusively to the offering of securities on behalf of the Company.

6.3       Expenses of Registration. Except as specifically provided herein, all Registration Expenses (as defined below) incurred in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to Section 6.2 herein shall be borne by the Company. All Selling Expenses (as defined below) incurred in connection with any registrations hereunder, shall be borne by the holders of the securities so registered pro rata on the basis of the number of shares so registered. For purposes of this Agreement, (i) “Registration Expenses” shall mean all expenses incurred by the Company in complying with Sections 6.2 hereof, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, blue sky fees and expenses and the expense of any special audits incident to or required by any such registration (but excluding the compensation of regular employees of the Company which shall be paid in any event by the Company) and (ii) “Selling Expenses” shall mean all underwriting discounts and selling commissions applicable to the sale.

6.4       Obligations of the Company. Whenever the Company effects the registration of any Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 6.2, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

(a)       use all reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective, and, upon the request of the Purchasers of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder, keep such registration statement effective for up to thirty (30) days or, if earlier, until the Purchaser or Purchasers have completed the distribution related thereto; provided, however, that at any time, upon written notice to the participating Purchasers and for a period not to exceed sixty (60) days thereafter (the “Suspension Period”), the

 

10

 

 

Company may delay the filing or effectiveness of any registration statement or suspend the use or effectiveness of any registration statement (and the participating Purchasers hereby agree not to offer or sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement during the Suspension Period) if the Company reasonably believes that there is or may be in existence material nonpublic information or events involving the Company, the failure of which to be disclosed in the prospectus included in the registration statement could result in a Violation (as defined below). In the event that the Company shall exercise its right to delay or suspend the filing or effectiveness of a registration hereunder, the applicable time period during which the registration statement is to remain effective shall be extended by a period of time equal to the duration of the Suspension Period. The Company may extend the Suspension Period for an additional consecutive sixty (60) days with the consent of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered under the applicable registration statement, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If so directed by the Company, all Purchasers registering shares under such registration statement shall (i) not offer to sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement during the period in which the delay or suspension is in effect after receiving notice of such delay or suspension; and (ii) use their best efforts to deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in such Purchasers’ possession, of the prospectus relating to such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to file, cause to become effective or maintain the effectiveness of any registration statement other than a registration statement on Form S-3 that contemplates a distribution of securities on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act.

(b)       Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement for the period set forth in subsection (a) above.

(c)       Furnish to the Purchasers such number of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them.

(d)       Use its reasonable efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Purchasers; provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions.

(e)       In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter(s) of such offering. Each Purchaser participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such an agreement.

(f)        Notify each Purchaser of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered

 

11

 

 

under the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing. The Company will use reasonable efforts to amend or supplement such prospectus in order to cause such prospectus not to include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing.

(g)       Use its reasonable efforts to furnish, on the date that such Registrable Securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale, if such securities are being sold through underwriters, (i) an opinion, dated as of such date, of the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and (ii) a letter, dated as of such date, from the independent certified public accountants of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering addressed to the underwriters.

 

6.5

Delay of Registration; Furnishing Information.

(a)       No Purchaser shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such registration as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Section 6.

(b)       It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to Section 6.2 that the selling Purchasers shall furnish to the Company such information regarding themselves, the Registrable Securities held by them and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be required to effect the registration of their Registrable Securities.

6.6       Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under Section 6.2:

(a)       To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser, the partners, members, officers and directors of each Purchaser, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for such Purchaser and each person, if any, who controls such Purchaser or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which they may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively a “Violation”) by the Company: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement or incorporated reference therein, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities

 

12

 

 

law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law in connection with the offering covered by such registration statement; and the Company will reimburse each such Purchaser, partner, member, officer, director, underwriter or controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6.6(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by such Purchaser, partner, member, officer, director, underwriter or controlling person of such Purchaser.

(b)       To the extent permitted by law, each Purchaser will, if Registrable Securities held by such Purchaser are included in the securities as to which such registration qualifications or compliance is being effected, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, its officers and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, any underwriter and any other Purchaser selling securities under such registration statement or any of such other Purchaser’s partners, directors or officers or any person who controls such Purchaser, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (joint or several) to which the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or other such Purchaser, or partner, director, officer or controlling person of such other Purchaser may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such registration statement or incorporated reference therein, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act (collectively, a “Purchaser Violation”), in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Purchaser Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Purchaser under an instrument duly executed by such Purchaser and stated to be specifically for use in connection with such registration; and each such Purchaser will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such director, officer, controlling person, underwriter or other Purchaser, or partner, officer, director or controlling person of such other Purchaser in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if it is judicially determined that there was such a Purchaser Violation; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6.6(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided further, that in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 6.6 exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Purchaser.

 

13

 

 

(c)       Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 6.6 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6.6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses thereof to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 6.6 to the extent, and only to the extent, prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 6.6.

(d)       If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.6 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to herein, the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall to the extent permitted by applicable law contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the Violation(s) or Purchaser Violation(s) that resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by a court of law by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; provided, that in no event shall any contribution by a Purchaser hereunder exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Purchaser.

(e)       The obligations of the Company and Purchasers under this Section 6.6 shall survive completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement and, with respect to liability arising from an offering to which this Section 6.6 would apply that is covered by a registration filed before termination of this Agreement, such termination. No indemnifying party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

6.7       Assignment of Registration Rights. The registration rights provided by this Section 6 may be assigned by a Purchaser to a transferee or assignee of Registrable Securities (for so long as such shares remain Registrable Securities) that is a subsidiary, parent,

 

14

 

 

general partner, limited partner, retired partner, member or retired member of a Purchaser that is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company provided, however, (i) the transferor shall, within ten (10) days after such transfer, furnish to the Company written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being assigned and (ii) such transferee shall agree to be subject to all restrictions set forth in this Agreement.

6.8       “Market Stand-Off” Agreement. Each Purchaser hereby agrees that such Purchaser shall not sell, transfer, make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, or enter into any hedging or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a sale, any Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company held by such Purchaser (other than those included in the registration) during the 180-day period following the effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed under the Securities Act (or such longer period as the underwriters or the Company shall request in order to facilitate compliance with NASD Rule 2711 or NYSE Member Rule 472 or any successor or similar rule or regulation); provided, that all officers and directors of the Company are bound by and have entered into similar agreements. The obligations described in this Section 6.8 shall not apply to a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans on Form S-1 or Form S-8 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the future, or a registration relating solely to a transaction on Form S-4 or similar forms that may be promulgated in the future.

6.9       Agreement to Furnish Information. Each Purchaser agrees to execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Company or the underwriter that are consistent with the Purchaser’s obligations under Section 6.8 or that are necessary to give further effect thereto. In addition, if requested by the Company or the representative of the underwriters of Common Stock (or other securities) of the Company, each Purchaser shall provide, within ten (10) days of such request, such information as may be required by the Company or such representative in connection with the completion of any public offering of the Company’s securities pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act. The obligations described in Section 6.8 and this Section 6.9 shall not apply to a Special Registration Statement. The Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the shares of Common Stock (or other securities) subject to the foregoing restriction until the end of said day period. Each Purchaser agrees that any transferee of any shares of Registrable Securities shall be bound by Sections 6.8 and 6.9. The underwriters of the Company’s stock are intended third party beneficiaries of Sections 6.8 and 6.9 and shall have the right, power and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though they were a party hereto.

6.10     Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available to the Purchasers the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which may permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use its best efforts to:

(a)       Make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in SEC Rule 144 or any similar or analogous rule promulgated under the Securities Act, at all times after the effective date of the first registration filed by the Company for an offering of its securities to the general public;

 

15

 

 

(b)       File with the SEC, in a timely manner, all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Exchange Act; and

(c)       So long as a Purchaser owns any Registrable Securities, furnish to such Purchaser forthwith upon request: a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of said Rule 144 of the Securities Act, and of the Exchange Act (at any time after it has become subject to such reporting requirements); a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company filed with the Commission; and such other reports and documents as a Purchaser may reasonably request in connection with availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing it to sell any such securities without registration.

6.11     Termination of Registration Rights. The right of any Purchaser to request registration or inclusion of Registrable Securities in any registration pursuant to Section 6.2 hereof shall terminate upon the earlier of: (i) such time as such Purchaser, as reflected on the Company’s list of stockholders, holds less than 1% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock (treating all shares of Series A Preferred Stock on an as converted basis) or (ii) all Registrable Securities of the Company issuable or issued upon conversion of the Shares held by and issuable to such Purchaser (and its affiliates) may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 during any ninety (90) day period. Upon such termination, such shares shall cease to be “Registrable Securities” hereunder for all purposes.

In the event one or more of the provisions of this Agreement should, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

7.6       Amendment and Waiver. This Agreement may be amended or modified, and the obligations of the Company and the rights of the holders of the Shares and the Conversion Shares under the Agreement may be waived, only upon the written consent of the Company and holders of at least a majority of the Shares purchased or agreed to be purchased pursuant to this Agreement (treated as if converted and including any Conversion Shares into which the then outstanding Shares have been converted that have not been sold to the public).

7.7       Delays or Omissions. It is agreed that no delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any party, upon any breach, default or noncompliance by another party under this Agreement or the Amended Charter or Certificate of Designations, shall impair any such right, power or remedy, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach, default or noncompliance, or any acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach, default or noncompliance thereafter occurring. It is further agreed that any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on any party’s part of any breach, default or noncompliance under this Agreement or the Amended Charter or Certificate of Designations or any waiver on such party’s part of any provisions or conditions of the Agreement or the Amended Charter or Certificate of Designations must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. All remedies, either under this Agreement or the Amended Charter or Certificate of Designations, by law, or otherwise afforded to any party, shall be cumulative and not alternative.

7.8       Notices. All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (a) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified, (b) when sent by confirmed electronic mail, telex or facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient, if not, then on the next business day, (c) five (5) days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (d) one (1) day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written verification of receipt. All communications shall be sent to the Company at the address as set forth on the signature page hereof and to Purchaser at the address set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto or at such other address as the Company or Purchaser may designate by ten (10) days advance written notice to the other parties hereto.

7.9       Expenses. Each party shall pay all costs and expenses that it incurs with respect to the negotiation, execution, delivery and performance of the Agreement; provided, however, that the Company shall, at the Closing, reimburse the reasonable invoiced fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement of one special counsel for Purchasers, not to exceed twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000).

In the event that any suit or action is instituted under or in relation to this Agreement, including without limitation to enforce any provision in this Agreement, the prevailing party in such dispute shall be entitled to recover from the losing party all fees, costs and expenses of enforcing any right of such prevailing party under or with respect to this Agreement, including without limitation, such reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys and accountants, which shall include, without limitation, all fees, costs and expenses of appeals.

7.11     Titles and Subtitles. The titles of the sections and subsections of the Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to be considered in construing this Agreement.

7.12     Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument.

Each party hereto represents and warrants that no agent, broker, investment banker, person or firm acting on behalf of or under the authority of such party hereto is or will be entitled to any broker’s or finder’s fee or any other commission directly or indirectly in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. Each party hereto further agrees to indemnify each other party for any claims, losses or expenses incurred by such other party as a result of the representation in this Section 7.13 being untrue.

7.14     Exculpation Among Purchasers. Each Purchaser acknowledges that it is not relying upon any person, firm, or corporation, other than the Company and its officers and directors, in making its investment or decision to invest in the Company. Each Purchaser agrees that no Purchaser nor the respective controlling persons, officers, directors, partners, agents, or employees of any Purchaser shall be liable to any other Purchaser for any action heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in connection with the purchase of the Shares and Conversion Shares.
